Chapter 278: Slip of the Tongue
Li Chengxuan saw her thoughts, so he said: "Xiling, you go and ride with Zhong Ting." With that, he went straight to the carriage.
Xilingyue was grateful for his thoughtfulness, and looked at Guo Zhongting with a smile: "Guo Guard, no, no, Guo Jungong, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Guo Zhongting waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble, I just want to hear about this case!" How the hell did you find out that Li Wangzhen was a mysterious person? ”
Xilingyue glanced at Xiao Yi with her afterglow, and saw that he didn't react, so she smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get in the car." At this moment, she didn't care about any priority, and hurriedly boarded the second carriage.
Seeing this, Guo Zhongting was also about to follow, one foot had already stepped on the wheel, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Yi was snubbed, and hurriedly turned his head to explain to him: "Doctor Xiao, don't get me wrong, the prince just thinks ...... Felt...... Two horse-drawn carts are running too slow! If you sit for two more people, won't it be even slower, delaying the journey! ”
Xiao Yi bowed lightly: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
Guo Zhongting had a good impression of him, and smiled back: "Doctor Xiao doesn't need to be polite, I have admired you the most in my life." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at Xiao Yi, and then sat in the carriage.
Xiao Yi also boarded the third carriage. The group set off in a mighty way, escorting the Queen Mother's birthday to Chang'an.
Xilingyue learned Xiao Guo's true identity on the day she left Zhenhai, but after so many days, she still couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Guo, who had a white face, turned out to be Guo Ziyi's descendant, with a prominent background - his grandmother was Princess Shengping, the favorite daughter of Daizong, and his mother was the eldest princess of Hanyang, the sister of today's saint! And he himself just turned weak at the beginning of this year, and the saint canonized him as the prince of Taiyuan County, an honor that even his father did not have!
Guo Zhongting himself is also complacent about this: "Now I have a family of three, and my father is the lowest-level. My mother is the eldest princess, and she is a good product; I am the prince of Taiyuan County, and I am the second product; Only my father is the captain of the horse and the son of the country, and he is only a three-grade wine. Ha! In the past, my father reprimanded me, and I could only suffer bitterly, but now that I am the prince of Taiyuan County, I have enough confidence, hahahaha! ”
"Reincarnation is really a technology." Xiling Yue can only sigh.
Guo Zhongting didn't have any displeasure, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think I, Guo Zhongting, in terms of talent and appearance, where can I compare to your righteous brother, but I am reincarnated well, and I got a good background by relying on my mother and Zuyin." ”
Xilingyue was used to being straight to him, and seeing him so modest at this moment, she couldn't help but blurt out: "In this way, you are not without merit." ”
Guo Zhongting hurriedly sat up straight, with an expectant expression: "Tell me where I can take it?" ”
"Self-aware." Xiling Yue replied jokingly.
Guo Zhongting snorted coldly: "I don't know women in general. ”
"Yes, yes, it's the people's daughter who lost her words, and I ask the county prince to forgive ......" Xilingyue originally smiled, but suddenly "ah", and came to her senses, "You are the son of the eldest princess, and the prince is the younger brother of the eldest princess, so he is your ......"
"He's my uncle." Guo Zhongting answered casually, "Hey, but he is only three years older than me, we grew up together, and we say that we are uncles and nephews, but in fact, they are more like siblings." ”
Although this situation is very common, for some reason, put it on Li Chengxuan and Guo Zhongting, Xilingyue felt very funny, and suddenly laughed uncontrollably. Her laughter was so loud that even Li Chengxuan in the carriage in front of her heard it, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she felt a little helpless.
Guo Zhongting was puzzled: "Is it so funny?" What the hell are you laughing at? ”
Xilingyue didn't know what she was laughing at, so she barely restrained her smile and asked him, "Then what do you call the prince on weekdays?" ”
"Just call him 'Lord Wang'!" Guo Zhongting scratched his head embarrassedly, "We have played together since we were children, and I can't name anything else." But occasionally when I joke about it, I will also call him 'little uncle'. ”
Xiling Yue was even more curious when she heard this: "Then you are also ...... to the current saint."
"Of course, it's the honorific title 'Holy Lord'." Guo Zhongting explained, "This situation is different, the saint is ten years older than me, and he is from the crown prince, so I don't dare to call him arbitrarily." ”
Xilingyue thought that Li Chengxuan had such a big nephew at a young age, and felt more and more funny, and then remembered that she had misunderstood that the two of them had a habit of breaking sleeves, and began to despise herself again.
"No wonder the prince brought you to Zhenhai and took such care of you." She has finally solved this age-old mystery. Guo Zhongting also smiled: "It was my mother who forced me to go through the training and forced me in." ”
"Sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do." Xilingyue teased him, "Aside from this case, escorting Shengchengang is a fat mess." ”
Guo Zhongting shrugged his shoulders: "Who is rare to be born, or the case is more interesting." ”
Xiling Yue giggled again.
Guo Zhongting saw that she kept laughing, so he took the initiative to ask about the mysterious person, and Xilingyue had to say his reasoning again, and the time passed very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to stay overnight again, and the local assassin Shi packed up the post station early and waited for a few people outside the city gate. Xiling Yue was stained with the light of King Fu and the Duke of Taiyuan County, and also received preferential treatment. Thorn Shi originally wanted to set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain him, but Li Chengxuan spoke simply, and finally only had a light meal at the local restaurant.
The most awkward thing is Xiao Yi, he rode alone on the way, he still abides by etiquette every time he eats, and he doesn't eat at the same table with Li Chengxuan and Guo Zhongting anyway, Li Chengxuan has to arrange for him to share the table with the commander of the guards.
Xiling Yue didn't have so many scruples, she sat with Li and Guo generously, and talked about Li Qi during the meal: "Lord Wang, I still think there is something wrong with King Teng's Pavilion." ”
Li Chengxuan took a bite of the dish: "Let's hear it." ”
"What do you think, Li Qi reported his friend Qi Changtian back then, and forcibly married his daughter, everything about King Teng should be his heart disease. Even if it was for Mrs. Gao, he should avoid the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" in the mansion, but why did he hang it out? And it is only hung in the study building, not elsewhere. There is also a secret room in the library, and the opening mechanism is also related to the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". Xiling Yue asked rhetorically, "Isn't this strange?" ”
"It's weird." Li Chengxuan agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, Xiling Yue felt more confident, and confidently guessed: "There is only one possibility-Li Qi is showing loyalty!" ”
The "Highness" and the "Pavilion Master" must have come to the Jiedu Embassy and had a secret conversation with Li Qi in the study building. Because "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" has a certain symbolic meaning, which can make "His Highness" and "Pavilion Master" feel happy, so Li Qi would rather not look happy himself, but also hang it in the study, and also make a secret room mechanism according to the mystery of "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion".
